When women feel ill, they know the doctor’s office is the best place to be. Men know the same thing, but they’ll often suffer in silence rather than ask for help. This reluctance to visit the doctor could mean serious health risks, so if your man is going to great lengths to avoid the doctor’s office, here’s some information you might want to pass on to him.
In order to prevent all sorts of serious problems, GP Dr Richard Mayes says that men in their late-twenties or thirties should definitely organise a check up. (This is even more imperative for older men — but the earlier, the better). A GP can check cholesterol and blood pressure, have a chat about risk factors for prostate problems, diabetes and any other conditions a guy may be predisposed to because of their lifestyle or family history. This sort of preventative check up can literally be life-saving in the long run!
